General comment

Cf. ‘find by seeking’. The Ofo forms may belong to that set rather than this, since the *r/*R distinction is neutralized after *k. Biloxi and Tutelo n before an oral vowel suggest an earlier cluster. If Crow and Hidatsa are cognate forms, the length difference is unexplained, although forms with R frequently have a Mandan ʔ (*ʔr is a possible source of *R) that could have yielded length.
